Lindsay Catherine Gottlieb (born October 2, 1977) is an American basketball coach who is the women's head coach for the USC Trojans of the Big Ten Conference. She was previously the head coach of the California Golden Bears women's team before becoming an assistant coach for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Gottlieb began her head coaching career with the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos where she spent three years and led the team to two regular-season Big West championships in 2009 and 2011, as well as the Big West tournament championship in 2009. In just her second season at the University of California, Berkeley, Gottlieb led the 2012–13 Golden Bears to their first Final Four in school history, their first Pac-12 Conference championship, and the most wins ever by a Cal women's basketball team (32–4). Gottlieb was named Pac-12 Coach of the Year by the media, and was one of the four finalists for the Naismith National Coach of the Year. In her first season at Cal, Gottlieb's Bears had a 25–10 record, making her the first women's basketball coach to win 20 games in her first season at California.[http://www.calbears.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=779421&SPID=126529&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=30100&ATCLID=208900560&Q_SEASON=2014 "Lindsay Gottlieb Profile"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150525034309/http://www.calbears.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=779421&SPID=126529&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=30100&ATCLID=208900560&Q_SEASON=2014 |date=2015-05-25 }}. Retrieved May 24, 2015. That year, Gottlieb led the Bears to the second round of the NCAA women's basketball tournament.[http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/03/20/cal-women-fall-to-notre-dame-in-ncaa-tournament/ Cal Women Fall To Notre Dame In NCAA Tournament].

Early life
Gottlieb was born in Scarsdale, New York, and is Jewish.{{Cite web|url=https://dailyvoice.com/new-york/scarsdale/neighbors/happy-birthday-to-scarsdales-lindsay-gottlieb/495672/|title=Happy Birthday To Scarsdale's Lindsay Gottlieb|date=October 2, 2014|website=Scarsdale Daily Voice}}[https://twitter.com/calcoachg/status/792602634184032258 Lindsay Gottlieb on Twitter: "They called it the "Year of the Woman" at the NorCal Jewish Hall of Fame...I'd take any stage with these women! https://t.co/oFlIM70FX6"]{{Cite web|url=https://jshofnc.org/inductees/lindsay-gottlieb/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171229231507/http://jshofnc.org/inductees/lindsay-gottlieb/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=December 29, 2017|title=Lindsay Gottlieb – Jewish Sports Hall of Fame Northern California}} Most of her family members are lawyers, and her father was a New York state judge. Gottlieb was passionate about sports from an early age. "Whatever sports season it was, I wanted to play," says Gottlieb. "I pretty much just wanted to be playing ball all the time." She started playing organized basketball in the fourth grade and by the time she reached high school was hoping for a college basketball career. Spending her senior year at Scarsdale High School on the bench with a torn ACL led her to view the game from a different perspective, and to consider coaching.{{Cite web|url=https://scarsdale10583.com/about-joomla/scarsale-gardens/3991-award-winning-basketball-coach-lindsay-gottlieb-to-speak-in-scarsdale|title=Award-Winning Basketball Coach Lindsay Gottlieb to Speak in Scarsdale|first=Joanne|last=Wallenstein|website=Scarsdale}}[http://issuu.com/calbears/docs/1112_winter_csq_final_web Dudek, Melissa, Dream Job: Lindsay Gottlieb Has an Ever-Growing List of Reasons She Loves Cal], Cal Sports Quarterly, Winter 2011–12.
College
Gottlieb followed in the tradition of both her parents and attended an Ivy League college, in her case Brown University. She played basketball her freshman year as a guard for the Brown Bears, but after her mother died during her sophomore year, she decided to spend a year studying abroad in Australia. It was during that year abroad that she decided to pursue a coaching career seriously. Gottlieb explained, "I knew that it was the perfect thing for me because it combined kind of my nerdiness and love of the X's and O's with the ability to impact 18- to 22-year-olds in a really significant way. To be able to do what I love, basketball, and have this intense impact on people, I felt that was it."
When Gottlieb returned to Brown for her senior year in 1998–99, she was both a player and a student assistant, working with the coaching staff. Her teammates voted her the Team Heart and Soul Award in 1999. That same year, she was also awarded her B.A. in political science.
Coaching career
= Assistant coach =
Because of her experience as a player-coach at Brown, Gottlieb was hired as an assistant by Syracuse University head coach Marianna Freeman, the day after she graduated from college. In the two years she spent at Syracuse, Gottlieb also earned a master's degree in the philosophy of education. Then in 2001, she moved to the University of New Hampshire, where she was an assistant under Sue Johnson. The following year, the 24-year-old Gottlieb was asked by the head coach of the University of Richmond, Joanne Boyle, to be her top assistant. According to Gottlieb, it took her "about 30 seconds" to accept.
Gottlieb worked under Boyle for three successful seasons at Richmond, 2002–05. The Spiders had three consecutive seasons with 20 or more wins. In 2003 and 2004 Richmond played in the WNIT, and in 2005 the Spiders received their first invitation to the NCAA Tournament in 14 years.
In 2005, Boyle was hired as the head coach of the University of California, and she brought Gottlieb with her to Berkeley as her top assistant. At California, Gottlieb was involved in recruiting and scouting, and was the team's academic liaison. But she was primarily responsible for working with and developing the Bears' outstanding freshman post players, Ashley Walker and Devanei Hampton. Both became All-Americans, and Hampton was the first California player to be named Pac-10 Player of the Year (2006–07), while Walker went on to become the first Golden Bear to be drafted by the WNBA, a first-round pick of the Seattle Storm.[http://www.calbears.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/walker_ashley00.html Ashley Walker Profile] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727022906/http://www.calbears.com/sports/w-baskbl/mtt/walker_ashley00.html |date=2011-07-27 }}.

Retrieved Jan. 29, 2013.
During Boyle and Gottlieb's first year at California, 2005–06, the Bears had their first winning season in 13 years and received their first NCAA Tournament bid since 1993. The Bears made the NCAA Tournament each of three years that Gottlieb was an assistant in Berkeley. In 2007, Gottlieb was elevated to Associate Head Coach.

On May 15, 2008, Gottlieb was named head coach of the University of California, Santa Barbara.

In her first season as a head coach, Gottlieb led the Gauchos to a 15–1 regular season conference record in the Big West Conference, and a 22–10 record overall. She was the first coach at UCSB to win 20 games in her first season. Gottlieb scheduled a demanding non-conference season, and the Gauchos pulled off a convincing 59–47 upset of Gonzaga.[http://www.ucsbgauchos.com/sports/w-baskbl/recaps/120708aaa.html UCSB Upends Gonzaga With Strong Defensive Effort], Dec. 7, 2008.

Gottlieb's first team at California had no seniors, and started freshmen at point guard and forward. The Bears played a schedule filled with ranked teams, and they suffered tough losses by three points or less to #12 Ohio State, #16 Rutgers, and #24 Texas. They also took #4 Stanford to overtime on the road, before falling 74–71.[http://www.calbears.com/sports/w-baskbl/recaps/030412aab.html California Falls Short at No. 4 Stanfurd in OT] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20130215171041/http://www.calbears.com/sports/w-baskbl/recaps/030412aab.html |date=2013-02-15 }} Jan. 28, 2012.

But Gottlieb's team came back after every tough loss to win. Their play was marked by dominance in rebounding, particularly on the offensive boards. The Bears ended the 2011–12 season with a record of 25–10. Their 13–5 record in conference play put them in second place in the Pac-12 Conference. California was invited the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009, as an 8 seed.

With almost the entire team returning for the 2012–13 season, expectations were high, and the Bears were ranked #13 in the AP pre-season poll, their highest ranking since 2009.{{Cite web|url=http://www.calbears.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/102912aaa.html|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20130215161205/http://www.calbears.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/102912aaa.html|url-status=dead|title=Cal Tabbed No. 13 in AP Preseason Poll|archivedate=February 15, 2013}} The Bears more than lived up to the expectations, compiling a 32–4 season record, and ending the regular season with a #6 ranking.

"What I said to our team in the locker room is that we can be disappointed about a half a basketball that we wish we had back. We could be disappointed to not be playing on Tuesday night," Gottlieb said. "But I'm going to think about that for two minutes, and for the next 10,000 minutes I'm going to think about what this group did for the University of California."
In addition to their outstanding success on the court, Gottlieb's 2012–13 California team became nationally known as a team that had fun, while also keeping focus. Senior leader Layshia Clarendon cut her hair into what became a trademark mohawk,[https://web.archive.org/web/20130408220255/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-04-07/sports/sns-rt-bkw-louisville-california-firstledesx34dd5a1-20130407_1_antonita-slaughter-bria-smith-shoni-schimmel Louisville 64, Cal 57, April 07, 2013, By Peter Finney Jr., The Sports Xchange, Reuters] and the team wrote, produced, and starred in their own music video, "Started from the Bottom."{{Cite web|url=https://www.mercurynews.com/2013/04/02/video-cal-womens-basketball-started-from-the-bottom-music-video/|title=Video: Cal Women's Basketball "Started From the Bottom" music video|date=April 2, 2013}} Coach Gottlieb explained: "My philosophy in general is that college athletics should be an enjoyable experience for the people involved in it. I think you have to embrace this team's nature of being fun-loving. You have to empower them to enjoy the experience. I can do that because I'm so confident in their focus.
